Forgive to be Forgiven


For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
New Testament. Matthew 6:14-15.

Why is it easier for me
to forgive a stranger
than one I love?

How can I let malice
stain my heart towards
those who come closest?

When will I learn
to live
the Savior's great command?

What keeps me shackled
to the past,
reliving intimate sorrows?

Forgiveness, sweet forgiveness
can only free me --
Lord, help me find it
and give it!
